Bio
Daniele Bandinu
At Swisscom I worked with Ara in the same team. He is a very self driven person. As his colleague I liked specifically that he is always willing to do new things and ready to work out of his "comfort zone". Generally he never loses the overview or his sense of humour, no matter how much pressure is building up. Go on like this, great job ARA!

Ara brought real purpose and focus to on his key accounts. He proved to be an inspirational leader with a sound business acumen and brought a wealth of expertise.I experienced Ara as a creative thinker with a structured problem solving approach, committed to achieve company’s business goals while fully focus on customer satisfaction.
